American BBQ Brisket Bacon Cheeseburger with Classic Fries

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Season the 800g beef brisket with salt and pepper (optional, not included in ingredients). Place the brisket in a roasting pan, cover with foil, and slow-roast for 3-4 hours until tender. Let it rest, then slice or shred into burger-sized portions.

2. 2

   While the brisket is cooking, wash and cut the 4 russet potatoes into fries. Soak them in cold water for 30 minutes, then drain and pat dry.

3. 3

   Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 180°C (350°F). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with 1 tsp salt while hot.

4. 4

   Slice the onion into rings and shred 1 cup iceberg lettuce. Set aside for burger assembly.

5. 5

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook 8 slices smoked bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels.

6. 6

   Toast the 4 sesame burger buns lightly in a dry pan or under a broiler.

7. 7

   Warm the brisket slices in a skillet if needed. Place a portion of brisket on the bottom half of each bun. Top each with 2 slices of bacon, 1 slice of American cheese, some onion rings, shredded lettuce, and 1 tbsp BBQ sauce.

8. 8

   Place the top bun on each burger. Serve immediately with the classic fries on the side.
